Abstract:Histochemical reaction of PAS-Test for carbohydrate accumulation on the gills of fingerlings of T. Mossambica under control and treated condition gave different responses.  Rich amount of carbohydrate content was present in the gill lamellae where as gradual reduction of carbohydrate content were noticed in Pilastor and epithelia cells when 63.7 PPM Pursuit given for 15 days.  When dose were continued for 30 days period much decreases of carbohydrate content was observed in different part of gills.
